Vancouver, WA - Only weeks before ballots are mailed, Ty Stober's campaign is gaining momentum with several key endorsements and a big fundraising lead.

"I have terrific grassroots support from neighbors, friends and colleagues across the city,” said Stober. “I’m grateful for critical endorsements from civic leaders, working families, and organizations representing the diversity of our community."

Stober is first to reach the critical $15,000 fundraising threshold, and at over 130 donors he has 5 times more backers than his nearest opponent. "I am humbled by supporters donating their hard earned money to the campaign. They got us to $15,000 mark, and their donations will help us get our message to voters. I’m also inspired by the volunteers who go out knocking on doors with me and talking to their neighbors about my campaign."
